HomeAlthough every effort has been made
for accuracy, there is no doubt that mistakes have been made in the process of
issuing and transcribing these records. Sometimes the family member gave wrong
information to the recorder. Sometimes the physician or coroner misheard or
misspelled the information. It is also very hard to read these records from the
handwritten documents, so there may be errors in the transcription.

The original books were loaned to the historical society for recording and are
no longer in our possession. Our policy is to present the information just as it
was in the funeral home books, even if the information given in the record is
incorrect. If you have an actual copy of the funeral home record (not the same
as a death certificate) that proves a mistake in our record, please email a copy
to the address below and we will make the change. Otherwise, we will not be
making physical changes to the records.

However, we fully understand that present day family members would like to
submit corrections so that other researchers are aware of the actual facts.
Please email any facts that you can prove to the address below. We are providing
an alphabetical list for these corrections. When researching your family
members, please be sure to check the list provided below to see if anyone has
submitted additional information or corrections.
